“What I mean is, I want you to be old with me. Now, you’ll notice I didn’t say ‘grow old’ - you do that your way and I’ll do it mine - but I want your last five years.”

Tonight’s Cantab feature is my SlamMaster and yours, Simone Beaubien! She doesn’t like it when we heap praise upon her, so let me just say that you really, really should not miss this one. This is her poem “One-Watt Lover,” as featured on IndieFeed.

This week in Worcester poetry, readings by Marilyn Nelson, Betsy Sholl, Simone Beaubien, Heather Mac and Taylor Liljegren. Alas, not all in the same place, although that would be awesome.

"...your girlfriend doesn't like this poem. and that's okay, she'll die at three score and ten in her own bed, smiling. for the people who pray for a death like that it's because we know it's not coming for us. it's why we drink, smoke, take our seatbelts off on the highway. it's why we fall in love with the people who say they need us; by the time we find someone we need, we're no good for each other anyway..."
